Do cardio last to blast fat fast

You can also lose up to an extra pound a week by replacing juice with water since most juice drinks are mainly just water & sugar.
Don't sit down for more than 4 hours
According to researchers at Missouri University - sitting down or being virtually inactive for longer than 4 hours slows down your metabolism making it easier for you to store fat so to prevent this from happening try standing up for at least 10 minutes within every 4 hours and you don't have to worry about doing this while sleeping
Say "So that" Everyday
Ask yourself Why you want to lose weight and after you come up with a reason why... Just keep on saying SO THAT.
For example - Why Do you want to lose weight...
* I want to lose weight to look better SO THAT...
* I can feel more confident about myself SO THAT...
* I can be the best looking person at my high school reunion SO THAT...
* I can see the surprised looks on the faces of my classmates SO THAT...
* I may be able to go on a date with the person I had a crush on in high school
Can you see what's happening here?
The more times you say SO THAT the more and more motivated you'll become to lose weight. I don't know about you but...
If you can come up with at least three SO THAT'S - nothing will stop you from losing weight.
Don't ask yourself "What's the best workout I can do" and...
